I am wondering if it is possible to integrate these two devices below? I want to attach a Garage Hoist to a Grow Light Mover. I’m not sure if they are compatible or can do what I want them to do together. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The end result I want happen is when the Grow Light Mover stops on one end of the rail, the Hoist will then lower an object, keep it there for about 20 seconds then raise it back up before the Grow Light Rail starts to go back in the other direction. I thought the best way to do this was to buy a second Grow Light Mover and detach and use the "timer sensor” to connect to the Garage Hoist.

So in the end the completed finished unit which would ride along the light rail system will have--- a Grow light Mover with sensor in tact and the garage hoist with it’s own Grow light Sensor. when this whole unit moves to one end of the light rail there will be two separate magnetic stoppers. One for the Grow Light and the other for the Hoist.

Thanks in advance…...


DEVICE #1- “GROW LIGHT MOVER”

Designed to slowly move on a rail system from left to right. When the unit touches a magnet touch point it goes in the opposite direction. There is also a built in timer that can pause the device for up to 120 seconds.

This is a Bluetooth device. There is an app that is used to program this device.

If You have to ask the question, the answer is "no".

If You are experienced enough to know how to build your own replacement Control-Board(s)
what You want could "possibly" be done.
Operation via a Cell-Phone-App could add tremendously to the complexity.

While also keeping in mind that these devices are "home-owner" "gimmicks" from China,
and will probably not last very long under continuous-duty, automated use, conditions.

I would suggest that You do not attempt to pursue such a project.
